The rain stopped, but most area rivers are at or near flood stage.  Some are beginning to recede, but others are still rising.

Levels are falling, but slowly.

Those storms fizzled as they moved towards me.  :(

Looks like it's going to be rather cool in Chicago tomorrow. A high of around 65° is being predicted, but the average high for this time of year is 79°. And can you believe it was in the upper 90s for a few days this past week?

A complete contrast to the constant above-average temperatures in the South...

And it's going to be in the 60s and low 70s all next week!

It feels more like April than June.    :dunno:

Wettest July on record in Chicago, and 75% of it fell within a span of 48 hours!

...SMOKE FROM NORTHEASTERN MINNESOTA WILD FIRE SPREADING INTO
NORTHERN ILLINOIS...

SMOKE FROM A LARGE WILDFIRE OVER NORTHEAST MINNESOTA HAS BEEN
MOVING INTO FAR NORTHERN ILLINOIS THIS AFTERNOON...DUE TO
NORTHERLY WINDS BEHIND A COLD FRONT WHICH MOVED ACROSS THE AREA
EARLY THIS MORNING. ALTHOUGH THE FIRE IS MORE THAN 400 MILES
NORTHWEST OF THE AREA...THE COMBINATION OF SINKING AIR AND
NORTHERLY WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT HAS TRANSPORTED SMOKE ALL THE WAY
INTO NORTHERN ILLINOIS. THE SMOKE WILL LIKELY PERSIST THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...BEFORE WINDS BECOME MORE
WESTERLY IN ADVANCE OF ANOTHER COLD FRONT WHICH WILL APPROACH
EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. SMOKE WILL LIKELY CONTINUE TO SPREAD TO
THE SOUTHEAST ACROSS MUCH OF NORTHEAST ILLINOIS AND NORTHWEST
INDIANA THROUGH THIS EVENING. EXPECT HAZY SKIES AND A DISTINCT
BURNING ODOR.

THE LAKE COUNTY ILLINOIS EMERGENCY MANAGER REPORTS THAT SMOKE IS
PREVALENT ENOUGH TO CAUSE PEOPLE TO REPORT DIFFICULTY BREATHING
AND BURNING OF THEIR EYES.

INDIVIDUALS WITH RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS SHOULD USE CAUTION WHILE
SMOKE AFFECTS THE AREA.

$$

RATZER

I can smell it a bit.  It's a faint odor, but my eyes are stating to water.

This upper level Low is ridiculous. 

Thankfully, it's on its way out.

I've never seen the word "graupel" before.
